Attention, John McCain. Corrupt campaign contribution pending in the U.S. Senate.

The people of Montana really hate Real ID. Senator Max Baucus (D., Montana) is up for reelection in 2008.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) is expected to allow a Baucus amendment "to strike all references to REAL ID" in the immigration bill as one of the mere 24 amendments Reid has decided he will allow.

Baucus gets to look like a hero back home as he stands up for the people of Montana. Such advertising cannot be bought, but Reid seeks the power to grant it as he alone sees fit.

That is what the clay pigeon amendment being considered today means for the Senate and it is the reason that Senate Republicans, no matter what their feelings on immigration, need to block it.
